His granddaughter is here for an admissions tour! Apparently the fam is trying to convince her that she should come here. Baby Biden For Penn! Start the Facebook group.
It's Copa Wednesday, guys, not Copa Brawl Your Face Off Monday. Tipsters say a massive fight went on around 2 a.m. outside the cesspool of sketch restaurant, resulting in a ton of Penn police presence. This brings the total number of fights outside of Copa to more than we'd care to count.
DJ, producer, songwriter and Twitter celebrity Diplo will be joining rapper J Cole in Irvine this Friday as part of SPEC-trum's spring show. Known for hits with Major Lazer and managing Mad Decent, he's sure to delight. Or at least shit will get weird.*
Spring Break: it's finally almost here. In the interests of public safety and having as much of our shit together as possible, we thought we'd provide you breakers with some basic facts on the most popular destinations.
Perhaps it goes without saying, but we think maybe you MeepMe folk could use your technical expertise for something better than hacking meaningless internet polls. Like making MeepMe not suck so much.
You heard it here first: rapper J Cole, known for being on a Jay-Z track and songs like "Lights, Please" and "Simba," will be performing as SPEC-TRUM's spring show. Tickets are on sale online today and will be sold on Locust leading up to the show.
Shots were fired around 41st and Spruce. One witness saw a man run down Spruce and get tackled by the police, who subsequently was handcuffed. We can't really tell what's going on in this photo from the scene but it looks as if it's related to the situation. Please be careful walking home tonight, and stay tuned to us.
Yay MERT! -- MERT won the National Collegiate EMS Organization of the Year this weekend at the convention of all the MERT-like organizations around the country. This further proves that despite the fact that we rarely think about MERT, holy shit they are legit.
Before she graduated, a wise Penn woman once told us quite possibly the most inspiring words ever. She said the most important thing we could do before graduation is to drink as often as possible on Penn's dime. Seniors, one such opportunity is here tomorrow.
It's Time For Philo To Be Useful And Hook Us Up With Wine-- Look! The Philo Wine Class is back! For just $25 a class, you too can learn how to be a pretentious dick... about wine. It's like the Preceptorial, except six classes long and you can actually get into it. Classes start March 23rd, so sign up (if you'll be 21) asap.
In a stunning turn of events many are calling the "end of an era," the beloved La Terrasse has closed for good today. Although the sign says "renovations," sources in the know say the bar/restaurant is done.
Generally a haven for raunchy stories, offensive photos and unadulterated debauchery, fraternity listservs occasionally produce gems so amusing that we must share with the world. The latest in silly: a detailed ranking of one house’s showers, complete with justifications and a scoring system.
Can we just have the whole bottle for (according to our math) eight bucks? For delivery, please.
Update: Okay, well, we had these really awesome pictures of this super-sappy met-at-Wharton couple taking their wedding photos around Penn, but they and Natalie threw a shitfit and said we couldn't put them on the blog so they're down. We have instead put up our artist's rendition of what what going on in the photos. Still tryna vom? View the real versions here.
Hey, anyone helped a Central Asian country create its first-ever research university lately? Because that's what our Graduate School of Education did in Kazakhstan. You know, casually establishing "Nazarbayev University, an organic, Kazakhstani-run preeminent research university that allows academic freedom and governance."
And it is so disappointing. First Strikes, now Aqua, a downtown favorite-- seems the shitty birthday party market has taken a real blow this year. Did you guys know about this? Cuz we were pretty blindsided.
Skulls' Charter Is Suspended-- According to official word from the DP, a verdict for Skulls has (sort of) been reached. Their charter is, as of now, "suspended," but it's anyone's guess as to what that means. The fraternity is not allowed to hold any "activities," begging the question, "What counts as an activity?" Oh, frat drama.
Our Chess Team Is Legit-- Found in the DP today: an article about our BAMF chess team. They won the Ivy League championship! One player even mentions getting his "swag on" when he walks around the tournament. Cheers to getting laid.
